whoof. what an ugly trip!
i’ve interacted with the author, who wrote a very nice spike sorting package called `phy` that i used several years back (and iirc turned me off using hdf5 as a result), and came away very impressed with what was so obviously a sharp mind. very odd to recognize the name in a totally other context. Not very pleasant to hear about such a rough time either!
And if he hadn’t, that nanny would probably be in jail.
i’m unsurprised by his level of meticulous detail. and mostly horrified by those sorts of repercussions being possible.
the whole thing just gives one the serious heebie jeebies
